Paint Color Ideas

We're starting to think of paint ideas for the baby's room. Any interesting color combos for the wall and mouldings????

I've been on the Benjamin Moore website which is great, but there are so many possible color combos that it's confusing!!

P.S. We're expecting a .

I think lavendar and pale yellow is very pretty. Or watermelon and green is very nice as well.

If you want all out pink I think that dark pink and light pink is nice as well

I like Ecru & mauve...very soothing colors. with a hint of a pale green maybe?

I am pretty anti- pastel, and very anti pink for a decor, but I am pretty anti-traditional in general

First of all, congratulations!
I happen to love pale yellow and green together - Pale canary yellow on the walls with accents of pale green.
Good luck!!

My Girlfriend just did a light lilac with light lime green accents for her new baby girl. It doesn't sound too nice, but when I saw it, It looked amazing!

We just painted our baby's room Benjamin Moore Mantis Green with white trim, and we are waiting for our butter yellow carpet. I love how it looks so far.

Re: Paint Color Ideas

we have our computer room painted, and ready for a baby room. It is a sage greem with white moulding, and will put up white chair rail moulding to place a border going a ll around.

You can really choose a lot of different colors, such as a sage green, light yellow, or a light pink.

We painted our baby's room Honey Pot- Valspar paint (lowe's). Normally we use Ben Moore paint but I loved this color so we tried the Lowe's and it was a really nice paint to work with IMO. I left the moldings white. I think you need to decide on her bedding and then chose a paint color. Which beddings do you like?

Re: Paint Color Ideas

Michele - I hadn't even thought of that! I haven't looked at bedding yet. Will do that this weekend so I can start getting ideas...

Thanks to everyone for all the ideas!!
